The cloud layer was dense, a chaotic swirl of cumulonimbus that obscured all vision. It was the only shield they had.

Marcus leveled the S-99 Valkyrie at eight thousand feet, weaving through the storm cells to mask their thermal signature. The radar screen was a mess of static—partly from the storm, partly from the lingering effects of Olivia’s psionic pulse.

"We lost them visually," Marcus reported, wiping sweat from his forehead. "But The Leviathan has military-grade sensor suites. Once they reboot, they'll burn through this cloud cover in minutes. We can't run forever. We're bleeding fuel from the Number 3 tank."

Jack sat in the co-pilot seat, Catherine tending to his arm. She applied a bio-gel patch to the burned skin where the curse runes had flared. The cool sensation was a stark contrast to the burning adrenaline still coursing through his veins.

"We can't outrun them," Jack said, his voice low and dangerous. "And we can't fight them. That ship

  • The Billionaire Alpha's Revenge   Chapter 190: Enemy at the Gates

    The victory at the tower felt less like a triumph and more like a reprieve. The air in the command center was heavy, charged with the static of unresolved tension. "We have to move the lab," Jack said, pacing the floor. His arm was bandaged again, the black veins quiet but present, a constant reminder of the cost of power. "Cain knows where we are. He knows our defenses." "Move it where?" Ben Carter asked, nursing a cup of tea. He looked haggard, his suit finally ruined beyond repair. "We're running out of bolt-holes, Jack. The city is crawling with Council spies." "We go underground," Marcus suggested. "Deeper. Grog’s tunnels. We fortify the junctions." "No," Catherine said. She was at the main console, reviewing the damage reports. "We can't hide in a hole forever. We need a stronghold. A place they can't breach." "The Obsidian Lab is compromised," Haley pointed out. "Cain bypassed the biometric locks. That means he has Jack’s DNA signature. Any syste

    The flight back to the city was a blur of speed and silence. Marcus piloted the stolen Osprey they had stashed near the water plant, pushing the engines into the red. Jack sat in the cargo bay, sharpening his machete. The sound—shhhk, shhhk, shhhk—was the only noise in the cabin, a rhythmic metronome counting down to violence.Catherine sat opposite him. She wasn't sharpening a weapon; she was sharpening her mind. She reviewed the footage from the lab again and again on her tablet, dissecting Cain’s movements, his speech patterns, his psychology."He's arrogant," Catherine said, breaking the silence. "He left the feed open for too long. He wanted us to see him. He wanted us to fear him.""He succeeded," Jack muttered, testing the edge of the blade with his thumb. A bead of black blood welled up. "He walked into my home and took my family.""He didn't take them," Catherine corrected. "He took her. Olivia. Everyone else... he ignored them. He step

    The infiltration of the West City Water Purification Plant had to be precise. A frontal assault was suicide; the place was a fortress, surrounded by electrified fences, automated turrets, and patrols of those white-armored Elites."Stealth approach," Jack ordered. "We use the outflow pipes. We swim upstream."It was disgusting work. The outflow pipes expelled the filtered waste of the city—a chemical sludge that burned the skin. But it was the only blind spot in the sensor grid.Jack, Marcus, and Catherine moved through the muck. The Rat King's mutants had stayed behind to guard the lab; this was a surgical strike, and Grog’s troops were too loud, too chaotic.Jack’s arm was throbbing again. The proximity to Cain—if he was here—was acting like a lodestone. The "Shadow" voice in his head was humming a tune. A nursery rhyme.Run, rabbit, run... the farmer has the gun..."Quiet," Jack hissed at his own brain.They reached

    The six hours of mandatory rest were anything but restful. The Obsidian Lab was quiet, save for the hum of the cooling fans and the distant, rhythmic dripping of condensation, but the tension in the air was thick enough to choke on.In the medical bay, Robert Sterling sat hunched over a microscope, his eyes red-rimmed and frantic. Next to him, Elena was mixing chemical compounds with the precision of an alchemist. Between them lay two samples: a vial of Jack’s blood, black and swirling with gold flecks, and a spinal fluid sample taken from Olivia while she slept."It shouldn't be possible," Robert muttered, adjusting the magnification. "The genetic markers... they aren't just compatible. They are identical in syntax. It's like finding two books written in a language that doesn't exist, by the same author."Jack walked in, his boots silent on the linoleum. He had discarded his torn tactical gear for a clean black compression suit that hugged his frame, highlighti

    The race back to the Obsidian Lab was a blur of exhaustion and panic. By the time Jack and his team burst through the airlock, the red emergency lights were already flashing."Warning," the facility's AI voice droned, sounding distorted and slow. "System... integrity... failing. Unauthorized... code... injected."The main command center was a scene of digital warfare. Finch and Dr. Aris were running around like madmen, unplugging hard drives, cutting cables, trying to physically isolate the infected systems.On the main screen, a digital representation of the facility showed red zones spreading like a cancer. The nanites had infiltrated the ventilation system and were eating their way into the server room cooling ducts. They weren't just destroying hardware; they were rewriting software."They're bypassing the firewalls!" Finch yelled, his fingers bleeding from typing so fast. "It's an adaptive algorithm! It learns every time I block it! It's like fighting water!

    The tunnel shook. Dust rained down from the Victorian brickwork, coating Jack’s black tactical gear in a fine grey powder."That wasn't a charge," Marcus rumbled, pressing his hand against the damp wall of the storm drain. "That was impact. Heavy machinery."Jack Sterling stood still, his head cocked to the side. His mutated right eye—the golden slit in the black orb—was seeing things the others couldn't. Through the layers of rock and soil, he saw heat signatures. Massive, grinding heat signatures."They aren't just drilling," Jack said, his voice low. "They're hunting. They're triangulating our position based on the seismic echoes of our footsteps.""So if we move, they see us?" Catherine whispered, her breath misting in the cold air."If we move predictably," Jack corrected. He turned to Grog, the leader of the Rat King’s mutants. "Grog, you know these tunnels better than anyone. Is there a choke point? Somewhere narrow where their
